For me, the album was kind of 'mediocre pop', but that's because I'm used to the billions of layers and 'experimental stuff' in H!P songs (meaning that H!P songs often have lots of elements from different genres of music, unexpected instruments, or lots of big sounds; whereas SNSD is closer to being simple bubblegum pop). So SNSD songs seem very simple to me compared to them. Still, I've listened to the album in a row many times, grown to like it and stuff. But I must admit that I wouldn't listen to most of these songs if I didn't like the girls and their voices so much. I know that most fans aren't like me though!!

I must say, having the album, and having listened to it alot, I still find G'G to be my absolute favorite. I mean what could ever beat Åridago nuliji maraijo. Sum sum pudding pie wota gooo?

All in all, i find it to be a really good popish debut album. Arrangements and music is really nice. They even managed to get all girls in there vocaly (9 people singing on most of the songs (all?) which are like 3-4 mins long is quite alot). And most of all excellent choice between low tempo songs (Tears), mid tempo stuff (Honey) and fucking hardcore rock my socks songs a'la G'G. Especially if looking at say KARA's debut album The Last Blooming which was like 80% really really slow songs which made it just dull in the long run. On top of that G'G sounds seriously fresh and really well worked. Just a good crisp and nice debut album. A bit of everything for everyone maybe? Just like with the girls.

Girl's Generation is a great song. I actually like this version more than the original.

Other than G'G the other songs to me borderline from really good to really boring.

I say all the tracks arranged by kenzie would go to good with some better than others

My least favorite track on the album is "Tears". Not bad enough to bring me to tears, but enough to bring me to sleep >_>

I could almost say the same thing about "complete", but I really liked the vocal harmonies.

I also thought 7989 did not fit well into the album. It has this really cool Jazzy acoustic sound but I prefer to skip it usually.

It's a very traditional "pop" album, like something out of the late 90's

What made the album sound as good as it did I think is that they got 9 girls with different voices and vocal ability to sing, and they all sing well in it. Cause really if this only featured one singer and the rest as background, I probably wouldn't be listening to it that much, even if the one singer was the lovely Taeyeon >_>

I really like the album. I think the songs are just plain good pop songs. Very girly too, makes me feel like a high school girl :lol (even though I was never that girly...). My top 3 tracks (not included the ones from the single) are Baby Baby, Tinkerbell and Merry-Go-Round. Also love Girls' Generation, it's a great song to introduce the album with, start to like Kissing You and Complete now. And I like to listen to Tears for a change sometimes (I like Yuri's singing in it).

I like all the songs in the album but if I were to choose my top, absolute song, it would be Baby Baby. Into the New World was their first song I ever listened to and I liked it right away. But after listening to Baby Baby, it became an instant fave.

Honey, Ooh La-La, and Kissing You are my stress-reliever songs at work.

I like Pop songs but I like R&B an Hip Hop moreand I never thought that SNSD could make me love Pop hahaha

i love the album at 1st i kinda find it hard to like sum of the songs like Kissing You and Baby Baby then 7989

but the more i listened to the songs i begin to love it

so yeah I love the album,and i think ppl in korea kinda bored with the same kind of songs (R&B) over and over and over again (even this kind of song still very strong is korea) so SNSD really bring Fresh Songs in Kpop industry,that could make ppl smile when listening to their album

So I was wondering if the lyrics to the album have been translated to english.I've been singing along to their songs and really have no idea what I'm singing about. Romanizations would be nice too but I could easily google those.

Everything has a scent because of you* I want to give all the dreams you want I'll be your Tinkerbell in the skyLike the first snow in winter like the sun in early springI fly to you with mysterious magic

When the Witch of Ice World from fairy talesblows cold wind in front of us one day

Promise me. We can overcome it together.

**I'm not scared of anything when i'm with you.I'll be your Tinkerbell in the skyLike the ocean in summer like the sky in late fallIts a dream that starts when the blue light sparkles

The things i want to do with you are increasingI'm worried the time we have is not enough

*I want to give all the dreams you want I'll be your Tinkerbell in the skyLike the first snow in winter like the sun in early springI fly to you with mysterious magic

I spent so much time with youDo you still not know? You still don’t know me..

Is there any such dummy Don’t you know yet? Open your arms and..

I’m always looking in one directionBut you aren’t awareCan’t you see me

I spent so much time with youDo you still not know?You still don’t know me.. Is there any such dummy Don’t you know yet? I’m standing with my two arms wide open
